It's been great hearing everyone's reading / library pics. Here are some
books on my end. There are too many movies to name here on my list so I am
sticking to books.

On my reading list for 2021:
*Pluriversal Politics: the real and the possible *by Arturo Escobar 2020
(I've read a number of his other books and have been following his
thinking. I just started this book and it's been so helpful in thinking
about the world today).
*The Purpose of Power: How we come together when we fall apart *by Alicia
Garza 2020 (A refreshing read after so many over academic speak texts).
*Braiding Sweetgrass; Indigenous wisdom, scientific knowledge and the
teaching of plants* by Robin Wall Kimmerer 2013 (It's been on my list for a
while and I am finally getting to it.
*Can non-europeans think?* Hamid Dabashi 2015 (I've read parts of it but
want to finish it).
*Noopiming, the cure for white ladies* Leanne Betasamosake Simpson 2020

And then some reading for courses I am teaching in film studies and art
history.
*Women and the Gift Economy: A radically different worldview is possible *Ed.
Genevieve Vaughan 2007

Fiction* Edited by Joshua Whitehead 2020
